MISS (Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery) is being developed as a safe leading edge surgical method which along with minimizing the burden of treatment on the body has few risks of after-effects and so on, which allows for a speedy recovery and return to daily life. It will continue to proceed in the direction of even less invasive surgery in the future.

This Forum contains special lectures containing surgery videos and luncheon seminar. To improve the operator’s skill are essential with the advancement of medical devices. I hope to make a forward-looking discussion to develop MISS based on the procedure we were shown.
